SalMar stock (ISIN NO0010310956) closed at NOK 530.00 on the Oslo Bors on September 21, 2026, down 3.64 percent from the previous session. The move followed a lower Barclays price target, putting the new valuation marker only NOK 5.00 above the latest close.

Barclays narrows the valuation gap

According to Ad-Hoc-News on September 21, 2026, Barclays lowered its SalMar price target to NOK 535 from NOK 545 while reiterating a market-weight recommendation. The NOK 10 reduction equals a 1.8 percent cut from the former target.

The comparison with the closing price is unusually tight. Barclays' new NOK 535 target stood 1.0 percent above the NOK 530.00 close on September 21, 2026, while the previous NOK 545 target represented 2.8 percent potential upside against that same close.

Stock loses ground in Oslo

SalMar shares fell from NOK 550.00 on September 18, 2026, to NOK 530.00 on September 21, 2026. That NOK 20.00 decline equals 3.64 percent and explains why the revised target became an immediate reference point for the market.

The broader Oslo OBX index declined 0.54 percent on September 21, 2026, according to the market report. SalMar therefore underperformed the index by 3.10 percentage points during the session, adding a concrete market comparison to the company-specific target reduction.

Price stays near the revised target
